The tonga, though a jarring vehicle, allows those with enough endurance to travel from Rawalpindi to Srinagar in two to two-and-a-half days. For a more comfortable journey, one might choose the slower landau, but this option comes with the risk of overcrowded bungalows and potential delays due to storms, often extending the trip by five or six nights. A more luxurious yet pricier alternative is the newly established motor service, which completes the journey in two days. However, this option poses unique dangers, as the narrow roads are often congested with ekkas and bullock trains, and lack adequate protective barriers along the steep cliffs above the Jhelum River, which may deter some travelers.
